I am tired of my “professional” organization encouraging us to utter moronic platitudes like “Everybody ought to own a home” or “It’s a great time to buy!” I’m tired of our idiot chief economist twisting himself in knots to support these opinions. I’m tired of paying high fees to participate in their mandatory monopoly on accurate information.

I’m tired of the myriad vendors who want to pick my pocket: marketing “experts,” SEO services, companies who want to sell me worthless search terms, companies that want to sell me fancy websites or lead management systems, makers of promotional materials, purveyors of accurate phone lists, “coaches” who tell me I am a loser because I’m not already a millionaire but they can fix me for a mere $1,000 per month.
